Rave review from Peter Marks in the Washington Post (gift link)

And get this stat:

"Jon Kalbfleisch, Signature’s go-to music director, leads a splendid 16-member orchestra — which amounts to one musician for every 16 ticket holders in Signature’s 277-seat main theater, the Max. It’s tantamount to being ringside at a cast album recording session, listening to the big, sweeping musical strokes in Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens’s score, a composition apt for a show about our boisterous American pageant."

I saw this production last weekend and it was definitely extremely good orchestra. The sound mixing was quite off though, I couldn't hear some of the performers over the music at all during their big solos. I'd have blamed the performer, but it is frikking Teal Wicks so I have to assume it was her mic or sound mixing in general which was the problem, which was inconsistent through the show.

Also, I'm sorry but I'm supposed to be attracted to the Mother's Brother? Because those pants could give Fiyero a turn for his money.
